Legal Foundations of the Gambling Business in Georgia
In Georgia, the organization and conduct of lotteries, gambling and profitable games, as well as the supply of gambling and/or profitable games, is regulated by the Law of Georgia on Organizing Lotteries, Gambling and Profitable Games. The first article of this law states directly that it establishes the legal foundations of this activity, which means that any project in the gambling business must be planned within the framework of these norms. The law determines which games are admissible at all, where they may be organized, which activities require a permit, and who may obtain that permit.
If you are planning to open a casino, a slot machine hall, a gambling club, a totalizator, a lottery, or to organize games in a systemic-electronic form, this guide explains the conceptual apparatus of the sector, why a permit is an unconditional precondition, for what terms and to whom permits are issued, and which restrictions apply to the permit holder. We rely exclusively on the exact text of the law as reflected in its consolidated edition, without replacing legal norms with assumptions.
